Art Vacation Week with Mom

My Cutie Patootie Mom painting the flowers!

Mother/Daughter time never gets old.

I told my Dad I was kidnapping her.....

I had the best vacation week ever with my Mom last week.

The first day we went to the Maine State Music Theatre  and I got to see my very ALL TIME FAVORITE movie

as a play...what would that be? "The Wizard Of OZ" of course. 

Our week was all playtime and sunsets!

Swimming, kayaking,  lunch out everyday, and even had cheesecake for breakfast!

The biggest part of the week was spent painting and creating and here's what we did. 

Day 1 - Brought out the alcohol inks and she painted a gorgeous hummingbird in Masterpieces Hard Core Art  panels.

Day 2 - Painted on Silk Scarves. Now neither one of us had done this before, so it was experiment time for us both. Fun trying different options like Jacquard Dynaflow paints, Alcohol Inks, and even Brusho. Super fun results. I am planning to experiment more and do a class in the future. 

Day 3- We got my Resin out and I made some Maine Lobster Jewelry from the shells.

Day 4  She painted this lovely bouquet that my wonderful neighbor gave us along with some
           fresh garden cucumbers and tomatoes! ( I know right, lucky!!) 

Day 5 - I filmed her painting one of her photographs from Acadia Maine over at the Bluff House Inn.
           (We get a really good deal since my Brother and his wife are the Inns owners!) 

Now that my vacation is over I'm back to working on my Online courses and just finished up August in time!

I'm super excited.......What's it about you ask? 

Shimmer colors!!! 

Ok, so how many of you are seeing all of these gorgeous alcohol inks with shimmer or sparkles? If you have been following me you know that I am a debt free simple living artist and although I don't mind spending money on things I really love, I do like to repurpose things that I already have to save.

Shimmer inks - you know you want to try them!
I'll show you how you can easily create your own shimmer colors in a number of mediums that you probably already have hanging around. We will practice, play and explore a few options and we will finish up this beautiful shell project at the end. 

I've also added 2 more PFD's that you can print off to create some more shells.

Thankful to have you here!

Mini Paintings HOW FUN!

My mother had a number of 2.5 x3.5" stretched canvas in her basement just hanging around so when she heard I was planning on doing some holiday craft fairs this season she asked if I wanted them! Um, YEAH! Thanks Mom!

Had a hard time not getting paint all over me though....bet it was funny to watch me paint them. Little buggers are hard to hold on to and paint at the same time. Really need to get myself one of those easels that lock the canvas in.

Still digging painting the sides!

Growing up in Maine along the ocean I relaxed and took in the incredible views that the coast had to offer. Sailing was by far my favorite way to travel. We would sail into all kinds of magical coves.

"Sunrise Reflection" Maine Island Inlet Watercolor Painting

KELLIE LYNN ART

 

"SUNRISE REFLECTION"

  (16x20" Double Matted)
$349.99

 Original Watercolor by Maine Artist, Kellie Chasse

Original Painting Size is 11x14

A very placid morning on the cove. 
The reflection in the painting was first painted as a mirror image then I used the dry brush technique to pull the paint down. This created the illusion of a serene calm water reflection.  I am a big fan of the "V" sky - it really pulls the eye out to the small island in the back.

My little Man at the Beach - Watercolor by Kellie Chasse

A warm sunny day at Popham beach, MAINE.

I took the original photograph of my son a few years back.

Today, is February 22nd, and as I look outside my window... the chill of the month hits me right down to my bones. With more snow on the way...... my thought was to escape the cold by painting a warm sunny day at the beach. A spring break vacation for mind. Hope you ENJOY it!...I'm thinking of heading to Florida...anyone with me?
